Patriotic Songs 

AMERICA 

My country 'tis of thee. 
Sweet land of liberty, 

Of thee I sing; 
Land where my fathers died, 
Land of the pilgrims' pride; 
From ev'ry mountain side 

Let freedom ring. 

My native country, thee. 
Land of the noble free, 

Thy name I love ; 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hills; 
My heart with rapture thrills 

Like that above. 

Our father's God ! to Thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To Thee we sing; 
Long may our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light; 
Protect us by Thy might. 

Great God, our King. 

—25— 



BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC 

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the 

Lord; 
He is trampHng out the vintage where the grapes of 

wrath are stored ; 
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible 

swift sword. 

His truth is marching on. 

I have seen Him in the vvatch-fires of a hundred circling 

camps ; 
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews 

and damps ; 
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring 

lamps, 

His day is marching on. 

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of 

steel ; 
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace 

shall deal." 
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with 

His heel, 

Since God is marching on. 

He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call 
retreat ; 

He is dealing out the hearts of men before his judg- 
ment seat ; 

O be swift, my soul, to answer Him ! be jubilant, my 
feet! 

Our God is marching on. 

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the 

sea, 
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you 

and me ; 
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men 

free, 

While God is marching on. 

CHORUS: 

Glory! glory! Hallelujah! 
Glory! glory! Hallelujah! 
Glory! glory! Hallelujah! 
His truth is marching on. 

—26— 



MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA 

Bring the good old bugle, boys ! we'll sing another 

song — 
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world along — 
Sing it as we used to sing it, fifty thousand strong. 
While we were marching thro' Georgia. 

How the darkies shouted when they heard the joyful 

sound ! 
How the turkeys gobbled which our commissary found ! 
How the sweet potatoes even started from the ground, 
While we were marching thro' Georgia. 



Yes, and there were Union men who wept with joyful 

tears. 
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for 

years ; 
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth 

in cheers. 
While we were marching thro' Georgia. 



Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the 
coast !" 

So the saucy rebels said, and 'twas a handsome boast ; 

Had they not forgot, alas, to reckon with the host, 

While we were marching thro' Georgia. 

So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train. 
Sixty miles in latitude — three hundred to the main; 
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain, 
While we were marching thro' Georgia. 

CHORUS: 

Hurrah! hurrah! we bring the jubilee! 
Hurrah ! hurrah I the flag that makes you free ! 
So we sing the chorus from Atlanta to the sea, 
While we were marching thro' Georgia. 

—27— 



STAR SPANGLED BANNER 

Oh. say, can you see, by the dawn's early Hght, 

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last 
gleaming, 

\Miose broad stripes and bright bars, thro' the perilous 

fight, 

O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly 
streaming? 

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 

Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still 
there. 

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner still wave 

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep. 
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence re- 
poses, 

Wliat is that which the breeze, o'er the towering- 
steep, 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam. 
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream. 

'Tis the star-spangled banner : oh, long may it wave 

O'er the lang of the free and the home of the brave. 



WE'RE TENTING TO-NIGHT 

We're tenting to-night on the old camp ground 

Give us a song to cheer 
Our weary hearts, a song of home, 

And friends we love so dear. 

We've been tenting to-night on the old camp ground, 
Thinking of days gone by, 
Of the loved ones at home that gave us the hand. 
And the tear that said ''good-bye !" 

We are tired of war on the old camp ground, 

Many are dead and gone, 
Of the brave and true who've left their homes, 

Others been wounded long. 



—28- 



We've been fighting to-night on the old camp ground, 

Many are lying near ; 
Some are dead and some are dying, 

Many are in tears. 

CHORUS : 
Many are the hearts that are weary to-night, 

Wishing for the war to cease ; 
Many are the hearts looking for the right. 

To see the dawn of peace. 
Tenting to-night, Tenting to-night. 
Tenting on the old camp ground. 

Last Verse : 

Dying to-night, Dying to-night, 
Dying on the old camp ground. 

THE BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM 

Yes, we'll rally round the flag boys. 

We'll rally once again. 

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, 

We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from 

the plain. 
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. 

CHORUS: 
The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah, 
Down with the traitor, Up with the star. 
While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again. 
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. 

We are springing to the call of our brothers gone 
before. 

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, 

And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million free- 
men more. 

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. 



—29- 



We will welcome to our numbers, the loyal, true 
and brave, 

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, 

And altho' they may be poor, not a man _.hall be a 
slave. 

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. 

So we're springing to the call from the East and 

from the West, 
Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, 

And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love 
the best, 

Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
